Context
The UK Government recently announced a funding boost for specialist support services for victims of rape and sexual assault. This includes six rape support centres across Wales.
Virginia Crosbie welcomes the government's announcement but asks if Simon Hart agrees that there is a need to work towards a Wales where no one seeking help from sexual violence or domestic abuse is turned away, citing a report by the Wales Audit Office.
I can reassure my hon. Friend that that is the shared ambition and intention of the UK Government. May I also commend her for bringing this matter to the House's attention? There are few more important issues facing us at the moment.
